Everyone is looking for ways to save money these days, and one of the oldest and most overlooked ways to save a TON of money when shopping is by using coupons!
We regularly use coupons to save money on our family grocery shopping, and want to help others remember that this option is there and learn to utilize it!
We clip coupons from the Sunday papers (we choose a local paper in an effort to help support the local economy) as well as printing coupons from the internet!
Lots of times there are coupons we won’t use, and we also have people that donate their coupon inserts from their papers to us as well, so we wind up with LOTS of duplicate coupons that we won’t use! We figured that it would be nice to pass these off to people who WILL use them, so we decided to start a Coupon Swap Basket in our store!
A coupon swap basket is a way to share/swap coupons with others. By donating your unused/unwanted coupons to the swap basket, you can look through the coupons donated by others. What you need to do is simple: Cut out all the Sunday coupons. Take what you want. Put the remaining coupons in a Ziploc bag along with an index card (please sign the index card). Add your bag to the swap basket. Instructions on the actual swap basket will explain how to keep track of which coupon bags you have already perused. (Simple method, trust me!) All in all, the main point is to help everyone find more of the coupons they want/need.
If you DO NOT use coupons, please think of those that do. Please donate your Sunday coupon inserts (no cutting required) to our swap basket. You can leave them under the swap basket and I will gladly cut and add them to the box for others to use!
You can find the Coupon Swap Basket right here at Twice Loved Boutique during regular business hours, or you may call ahead to make arrangements to stop by at another time!
If you are interested in printing coupons at home, you can find printable coupons at many manufacturer websites as well as these sites:

Yep it’s official, and sorry I haven’t posted sooner to let everyone know, had a lot going on at home with the new baby and people being sick, plus trying to get the shop all cleaned up, organized, restocked and all that good stuff to make it good enough to HAVE the reopening this weekend!
We have added a ton of new inventory, all the racks are full! We have even decided we need at least 2 more racks (which we are HOPING to have installed BEFORE we open on Saturday, otherwise they will have to be listed as a “coming attraction” haha!) one rack will be for Discount Items (yes I know, we are a Resale & Consignment shop, so things are already pretty discounted, but these are items that are priced to SELL! Even more so than before…!) and the other rack will be for Maternity clothes (which we have quite a bit of, but felt it would be more appropriate for them to have their own home instead of being thrown in with all the rest of the Women’s items!).
I know LOTS of you will be out Yard Saling this weekend, so make sure to take a detour through Brooks on your way to or from home and check out what we’ve got available for you!
90% or more of our inventory is priced $5 or under!!!!!!!
